Sesame Street - Season 13 (1981-1982)

Maria is sprucing up the Fix-it Shop awning when she encounters two odd individuals: Madeline and Cedrick. They are birdwatchers, and have arrived on Sesame Street after being informed of a large, yellow bird that lives there. Maria confirms this and leads them to his nest, taking her ladder along so they can get a better look.

Olivia greets the viewer and reports that David's grandmother Grace will be visiting from the country. Oscar will return any minute in his taxi with her. Once they arrive, Grandma shows Olivia all the vegetables she's packed; every one of her many suitcases is filled with vegetables, as she intends to sell them to everybody on Sesame Street. Olivia makes her realize that she neglected to pack any clothes or toiletries with her, so she and Oscar must drive back to the country. Oscar bemoans another trip, but looks forward to sitting in traffic.

Luis needs to step out of the Fix-It Shop for a few minutes and asks Maria to mind the telephone. It only takes Maria a few moments to get overworked between repairs and phone calls. She muses about being somewhere peaceful, far away from the shop. She and the viewer imagine being at the beach, where she traipses through the water and finds a sandcastle. Luis returns to the shop just as Maria snaps out of it.

In "A Postcard from Amy," Grover reads a postcard he got from his friend Amy. The message on the card is passed around from person to person, getting more and more mixed up, until everyone is led to believe that Amy is in the hospital!

Maria reluctantly allows Forgetful Jones to help her out in a situation - her friend is arriving any minute, but she has some work to do in the Fix-It Shop and needs Forgetful to keep watch. She gives him the important information he needs - her name is Sue, she'll have a guide dog with her (she's blind) that wears a harness, and that she'll wait at the stoop for Maria's return. As usual, Forgetful forgets what he was supposed to remember when Sue (Sue Harden) arrives. He's able to piece together the clues with Sue's help, and Maria meets up with her to get some lunch.
